Flying Out to a Remote Beach for a Morning Jog

Greg Pattison of Neenah, WI

Morning colors and contrails jump alive with this October sunrise shot on a U.S.A. Great Lake. This is old-school bush aviation, reminding us that life can still be simple — even with the modern era of jet contrails overhead. The pilot got in a couple-mile jog and was back home by 9a.m. to make breakfast and church with family. This is how it was after WWII and the boom in general aviation.

Prepping for the Big Day

A. D. "Butch" Horn of Blacklick, OH

A flight of five WWII B-25 bombers were prepped for a fly-over at Wright Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio, on November 9 to salute remaining members of Doolittle's Raiders who were on hand for a Veterans' Day event.

Bright Inlet

Michael Grabbe of Indianapolis, IN

Walking through the hangar in the morning, I noticed that this inlet was lit up. The rising sun was shining through a hangar door window at just the right angle to illuminate this engine inlet.

Resized image to meet file size limitations and used MS Paint to remove registration number of aircraft in the background. Image shot in the hangar with an iPhone 4.

Titan Tornado

Sunrise Over Mt. Rainier
